Sodebo still leading, Oman (no foils) second, Groupama third. Sodebo seems to have a slight speed advantage over the others. Not surprising, Coville holds the single handed 24 hour record. Strange there are no Kite boards leading the fleet. Sorry, very bad taste joke.

OMAN says(google translation):"Here it is, the debate is launched .... I imagine you on shore to scratch your head and discuss the different routes! For my part, I leave Marcel Van Triest brainer, it is there for me, I advance, trying not to leave me behind. Actually my classmates are going a little faster with their foils ... But we knew it! So it's not worth making a cheese! "

And yet more interest; North, middle or South? Oman swings a hard right along with Lemonchois aboard 50 Prince de Bretagne while 50 Crepes Whaou is close to the big leaders along with Idec and Gitana in the middle. Those 50's are fast (no foils Doug). Is Franck's south route going to pay off? My money is on Coville.

Franck Cammas is going to slow in lighter winds soon whereas Thomas is going to veer a little west to stay in better stuff. Another prediction; the foil boats are going to stamp their authority over those without, eh Chris?

Is Franck going to sneak through? - don't think so - and he's going even further east - and Thomas has stronger breeze coming and looking good. Francis is going well but he's going to be in the dead stuff soon.

Correct, Gary. There are still many days out on the water that have to unfold before anything like a clear leader is observable. Shore crews and routers are feverishly at work running all sorts of possibilities for what is out there in front of them and someone will get it more right than the others. That's what makes it fun.
